A SEM/EDAX/NOVA‐2 system, with quantitative analysis program EDIT/EP7–ZAF auto, has been used for analysing the transition elements in aluminium alloys. Handling the sample carefully and choosing optimum operating conditions, has enabled us to determine the concentrations below 1% of these elements, with a percentage error less than ±10%, in most elements, except in Zn, due to interferences in its Kα line with the Cu Kβ.
